Imagine a half-gallon of milk. That is roughly two liters (actually a bit less.) A bag of gold that size has a mass of 38 kg. (~83 lbs.) They toss gold bags around in the movies like they're full of flour, which is actually lighter than water.

Thanks guys, I have noticed the gold thing before (many times), but I didn’t notice it to that extent, nor always.

I knew that gold was heavy, but I just never put it all together as THAT heavy.

Thanks Hugin, sorry I missed it.
